The Teutonic Order and the Baltic Crusades By Alex Eidler Senior Seminar: Hst 499 Professor David Doellinger Western Oregon University June 5, 2019 Readers Professor Elizabeth Swedo Professor David Doellinger Copyright © Alex Eidler, 2019 Eidler 1 Introduction When people think of Crusades, they often think of the wars in the Holy Lands rather than regions inside of Europe, which many believe to have already been Christian. The Baltic Crusades began during the Second Crusade (1147-1149) but continued well into the fifteenth century. Unlike the crusades in the Holy Lands which were initiated to retake holy cities and pilgrimage sites, the Baltic crusades were implemented by the German archbishoprics of Bremen and Magdeburg to combat pagan tribes in the Baltic region which included Estonia, Prussia, Lithuania, and Latvia.1 The Teutonic Order, which arrived in the Baltic region in 1226, was successful in their smaller initial campaigns to combat raiders, as well as in their later crusades to conquer and convert pagan tribes.

  • The Grunwald Trail
    n the Grunwald fi elds thousands of soldiers stand opposite each other. Hidden below the protec- tive shield of their armour, under AN INVITATION Obanners waving in the wind, they hold for an excursion along long lances. Horses impatiently tear their bridles and rattle their hooves. Soon the the Grunwald Trail iron regiments will pounce at each other, to clash in a deadly battle And so it hap- pens every year, at the same site knights from almost the whole of Europe meet, reconstructing events which happened over six hundred years ago. It is here, on the fi elds between Grunwald, Stębark and Łodwigowo, where one of the biggest battles of Medieval Europe took place on July . The Polish and Lithuanian- Russian army, led by king Władysław Jagiełło, crushed the forces of the Teutonic Knights. On the battlefi eld, knights of the order were killed, together with their chief – the great Master Ulrich von Jungingen. The Battle of Grunwald, a triumph of Polish and Lithuanian weapons, had become the symbol of power of the common monarchy. When fortune abandoned Poland and the country was torn apart by the invaders, reminiscence of the battle became the inspiration for generations remembering the past glory and the fi ght for national independence. Even now this date is known to almost every Pole, and the annual re- enactment of the battle enjoys great popularity and attracts thousands of spectators. In Stębark not only the museum and the battlefi eld are worth visiting but it is also worthwhile heading towards other places related to the great battle with the Teutonic Knights order.

France, Italy, Germany, Poland have all had to work out their destinies in a closer community, with sometimes con­ flicting interests, so that they have been forced almost inevitably to study one another, to help one another and to quarrel with one another by turns, while for England in the past it has been more easy to develop her own traditions undisturbed, within the security of the sea. Nevertheless, the times in which we are living, with their new methods of transport and communication, by air and land and water, have altered the nature of Great Britain's isolation just as much as they have changed the conditions under which the nations of the European continent live together.

  • St. Stanislaus Kostka
    SAINT STANISLAUS KOSTKA 1550-1568 Saint Stanislaus Kostka, at the age of seventeen, was so gravely ill that he seemed very near the end of his life. In that time, he lived as the guest of a noble Protestant who would not even permit him to be visited by a Catholic priest. Stanislaus was not discouraged and one night, in the presence of his tutor, he received Communion in a miraculous way. A few days later he recovered and decided to enter the Jesuit order. Saint Stanislaus receives Holy Tomb of Saint Stanislaus, Communion from an Angel.

  • Lubycza Królewska
    Lubycza Królewska Photo: Lubycza Królewska Source: www.fotopolska.pl HISTORY The origins of Lubycza Królewska date back to the times of the Mazovian and Wallachian colonization conducted at the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th centuries by Siemowit IV, Duke of Masovia. In 1787 the Austrian authorities gave Lubycza to Edward Romanowski, and in 1830 the town was bought at auction by Baron H. A. Leibnitz. The village was later owned by the Woroniecki, Zieliński, Kampf, and Marian Horowitz families. In 1855 Ludwik Zieliński established in Lubycza a faience and stoneware factory, which was open until 1911 when it was destroyed by fire. The factory was owned by Jews, including Parnas and Luft. It produced mainly, but not only, objects for the cult purposes for the Jewish community. The products of this factory, which were characterized by blue decorations, gained considerable fame. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Lubycza developed as a local industrial center. At that time, the town was inhabited mainly by Jews. During the World War I the town suffered considerably. Most of the buildings were in ruins.

Borowski certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Online Conflict Discourse, Identity, and the Social Imagination of Silesian Minority in Poland Co-Chair: Marc L. Greenberg Co-Chair: Renee Perelmutter Date Approved: 29 April 2020 iii Abstract The second decade of the twenty-first century has been that of digital nationalism. In particular, the 2016 United States presidential elections and Brexit vote in the United Kingdom have shown that the increased use of social media has raised popular nationalism (Whitmeyer 2002) to a whole new level. While Europe and other parts of the world have visibly become more globalized, the Northern Atlantic region has witnessed a contradictory tendency for the rise and spread of nationalist sentiment. Much of this phenomenon has been taking place on the internet where conditions of apparent anonymity created a fertile ground for uninhibited identity expressions and performances. From the United States to Poland, people have retreated to their stable, national identities as a way of coping with the various facets of liquid modernity, in which the need for networking pushes individuals to engage in community building by bonding with other individuals through shared emotions (Bauman 2006, 37).
